Chapter 426: Bitter Medicine

Wei Hang, the guard of Hanping City, is a big fat man, his whole body is full of meat, but he can't add a little calmness to him, and he is anxious when he encounters something - he is not afraid in his heart, or he is in a hurry, and he always keeps urging the people around him with the same thing.

"Sent a message to General Tie? Send a few more. ”

"What about Yizhou? Send another man. ”

"What is the movement of the Hanzhou Army? Are you going to call? Why haven't you sent troops yet? ”

"The walls have been repaired? Confirm sturdy? Check it again, and don't make a mistake. ”

……

Retaining General Xiao Tang is also one of the several things he is anxious about, seeing Tang Weitian walk into the hall, he immediately got up to meet him, and said with a smile: "Thousands of troops are easy to get, fierce generals are hard to find, without General Xiao Tang to take the lead, everyone is not at peace." Besides, if you drink my wine, it's hard to leave, haha. ”

"I drank your wine, but I didn't say I wanted to stay. I'm here to introduce another person to General Wei......"

"Xu Ji Xu Gongzi, I have already seen it. How can I forget the person who once was the king of Wu? Wei Hang said with a smile, saying that there are many kings, and he doesn't care about "King Wu", just to give Tang Weitian a little face.

"Xu Gongzi has something to say to General Wei, Xu Gongzi is the smartest, he is like a god, his words are much more powerful than my long lance, please General Wei must listen carefully."

Wei Hang's position is much higher than Tang Weitian's, but when employing people, he doesn't care about the rudeness of his words, and he smiled at Xu Ji: "Great, I not only have a fierce general, but also a strategist." It has been less than a month since the Yizhou army entered Hanping City, and there must be many deficiencies in defending the palace. ”

Xu Ji also returned the salute, "I don't have anything to say about defending the city, but I guess that the Hanzhou army is not going to attack the city, but to block the exit of the valley road, so that General Tie can't return to the division in time." ”

Wei Hang was slightly stunned, and then smiled: "When Gongzi Xu first arrived in Hanping, he didn't understand the situation here, the exit of the valley road was only more than thirty miles away from Hanping City, and he didn't take the city first and blocked the valley road, this ...... Isn't the Hanzhou army afraid of being attacked on its back? ”

"If the Hanzhou army goes to seal the road, General Wei will send troops to attack?"

"Of course, I'm counting on General Tie, and I have to fight to the death to ensure that the valley road is unblocked. Besides, everyone is the minister of the King of Shu and the general of Yizhou, how can they not save them when they die? Xu Gongzi is right to remind him, I will send someone to pay attention. However, I estimate that the Hanzhou army will still attack the city first, which is the most normal way to play. ”

Wei Hang looked at Tang Weitian and said with a smile: "Xu Gongzi is a scholar, and he doesn't know about war, so it's hard for him to think about Gu Dao......"

Tang Weitian shook his head, "Young Master Xu has led soldiers and fought battles. ”

"Oh." Tang Hang just wanted to make a round, and since the circle didn't come back, he didn't know what to say.

Xu Ji said: "General Xiao Tang saw that there was a wolf's head flag in the camp of the Hanzhou army, and from this point of view, the Hanzhou army must have taken refuge in the He Rong people, and attacked from the north and south. ”

Tang Xuanzhi frowned, he didn't want to offend this Xu Gongzi, but he couldn't take it too seriously, he thought for a while, and asked, "In Xu Gongzi's opinion, how to deal with the enemy?" ”

"Outside the city, showing the enemy to defend the valley road to the death, the Hanzhou army will be cowardly."

"There is a city to defend, but you want to ...... Will the Hanzhou Army really be scared? Does Xu Gongzi know that the Hanzhou Army can mobilize at least twice as many troops as mine. ”

"There are many enemies and I have few, but we must show the enemy bravery, not to mention that the Yizhou army is famous for its bravery, and now the best strategy is not only to line up outside the city, but also to challenge first, forcing the Hanzhou army to retreat, so that it will not move forward."

Wei Hang opened his mouth slightly, and suddenly laughed twice, "Young Master Xu...... I really didn't treat our Yizhou Army as an outsider. ”

Tang Weitian volunteered: "Allocate 1,000 people to me, and I'll challenge." ”

Wei Hang hoped to leave Tang Weitian, a fierce general, to let him serve himself, but he didn't go to die in vain, and said with a smile: "Let me think about it, this matter still needs to be considered in the long run, isn't the Hanzhou army still moving, I send more scouts, always keep an eye on it, if the Hanzhou army really sends troops to seal the road, I will lead my troops out of the city to intercept it." General Xiao Tang, and Xu Gongzi, can you stay? ”

Tang Weitian looked at Xu Ji.

Xu Ji nodded, "It is rumored that one of the generals of the Hanzhou Army is Changshi Lou Yan, this person has some relationship with me, I wrote a letter, and asked General Wei to send someone to send it over." ”

Xu Ji handed over the written letter, Wei Xuan took it in his hand, and his eyes lit up, "Why didn't Xu Gongzi say it earlier?" Were you two classmates or fellow villagers in the past? ”

Tang Weitian was surprised: "When we first met, you still said that you had admired the name of Xu Gongzi for a long time, why didn't you know that his surname was Lou in the past, and like Lou Yan, he was also the son of a general?" ”

Wei Hang was taken aback, "Is that really the case?" ”

Xu Ji nodded again, he couldn't imagine that after so long, he still had to be valued as the "son of a general".

Wei Hang laughed, "General Xiao Tang is really a blessed general, he actually brought me such a ...... Please forgive me for having no eyes, I ...... at the beginning"

"I've changed my surname to Xu."

"Oh, why is this, is it not compatible with the Lou family? Not a family. ”

"Anyway, please General Wei send someone to deliver the letter, it's still hard to say whether Lou Changshi is willing to see me."

"Xu Gongzi wants to see Lou Changshi?"

"Some things have to be said to your face."

"Yes, yes, it's better to say it in person, Xu Gongzi must make it clear to Lou Changshi: Han and Yi are dependent on each other, and since they have formed an alliance, why bother to fight? The king of Shu didn't really want to occupy Hanzhou, but he was using this place to prevent the northern enemy from going south, and he would definitely return it in the future. Wei Xuan blinked, as if he had reached some kind of conspiracy with Xu Ji.

Xu Ji nodded with a smile and left.

"Childe persuaded General Wei?" Tang Weitian was a little puzzled.

Xu Ji shook his head.

"Then persuade me again, I'll help you this time, General Wei will have to sell me some face."

"You save face for now, maybe it will be of great use in the future, as for now...... It doesn't matter if you don't persuade you, you have to find the right person first, and persuasion will have a miraculous effect. ”

"Looking for whom? Is the long history of the building in the way? He's an enemy. ”

"Alas, sometimes the enemy is better persuaded than to persuade." Xu Ji said with a smile.

Tang Weitian was confused, "What now?" Just waiting? ”

"You go and get busy with yours, since you stay, do what a general should do, get the news quickly, and tell me at any time."

"Of course." Tang Weitian suddenly laughed.

"What are you laughing at?"

Tang Weitian saw that there was no one around, and whispered: "Gongzi lied just now, I obviously didn't see any wolf head flags of He Rongren." ”

Xu Ji also smiled, "It's smooth, but I only lie about small things, and I don't lie about big things." ”

"Only those who can deceive are called capable, why not deceive?" Tang Weitian didn't think there was anything wrong with this at all.

Xu Ji returned to his residence and said to Changyan: "It seems that we can't avoid this battle, is it my bad luck?" Everywhere you go, you will encounter war. ”

Chang Yanzhi said with a smile: "Childe thinks too much, the world is in chaos, where is there no war?" Long before the arrival of Gongzi, Hanzhou had already fought many battles. I'm curious, why does Childe have to stay? Anyway, we don't have anything to do, so it's better to go to Yizhou to see the King of Shu as soon as possible. ”

"Yizhou won't be too peaceful, and ......" Xu Ji sighed lightly, "I always want to cause a little difficulty for Shan Yu, and I don't want him to think that there is no one in Kyushu and rely on him to slaughter." ”

"It's difficult, those heroes with many soldiers and generals have all gone to hand over the book, Gongzi is alone, and no one listens to what he says, and he wants to stop Shan Yu, which is tantamount to that ......"

"Mantis arm blocking the car?"

"Of course, Childe is not a 'mantis arm', but it means something about the same." Chang Yanzhi said with a smile, after getting along with Xu Ji for a long time, although he became more and more loyal, there was not much awe left.

Xu Ji didn't care, "Compared with Shan Yu, I am indeed a 'mantis arm', so I have to find a thick arm as soon as possible......"

"I think General Tie is right, at this time, whoever does not submit a letter of surrender to Shan Yu is a fool, and he will be obedient on the surface, and he will have the opportunity to rebel in the future. If you want to say that the Tiancheng court is too unpresentable, the emperor is all obedient, what should others do? ”

"This 'fool' is an opportunity, without a 'fool' as a precursor, Shan Yu will become stronger and stronger, and the false submission of the heroes will become true allegiance sooner or later."

"I don't know whether to say it or not."

"Say, there are no outsiders."

"Just let Shan Yu ...... Isn't it good to dominate the world? He was indeed more ruthless to the soldiers of the Central Plains, and he didn't take human lives seriously when attacking the city, but the founding emperor was like this. Although he is a foreigner, he can speak the Central Plains, and there are few people in the He Rong tribe, and if he wants to rule Kyushu, he still has to rely on the Central Plains in the end. ”

"The problem is here, Shan Yu can't wait to dominate the world, and soon he will have to rely on the Central Plains people to fight everywhere, but he won't trust the Central Plains people, and then the world will be in chaos. Alone is only to prolong troubled times, not to end them. ”

Chang Yan didn't squeak.

"Shan Yu does have a heroic posture, but he is still shallow, and he leads the crowd into the fortress with stratagem rather than prestige, thinking that winning the Central Plains will naturally make He Rongren obey him. But I think he won't trust the people of the Central Plains, and he won't be able to suppress He Rongren, and if he is defeated, he will be in great trouble. All in all, just entering the congestion too early, in addition to adding chaos, can not determine the world. ”

"I hope Childe is right, to be honest, although I haven't suffered too much from the troubled times, I'm really a little tired of it, no matter who it is, just end it."

"There will always be such a hero?"

But who is he? Will we be able to live and wait? ”

Xu Ji couldn't answer.

"Childe's injury still hasn't healed, I'll call Lang Zhong over again."

"Not necessarily."

"The medicine prescribed by Lang Zhong is still there, no matter how bitter the son is, he has to drink it."

"Hmm. When you boil medicine, you can also boil porridge, I really can't eat wine and meat now. ”

"Hehe, let outsiders hear this, and he still lives a life of fine clothes and fine food as a son."

Chang Yanzhi took matters into his own hands, first boiled the rice porridge, Xu Ji ate a bowl and felt much more comfortable, and when he drank the medicine again, he felt more and more difficult, and was urged by Chang Yanzhi again and again, so he pinched his nose and drank it in three gulps.

"In the future, I will no longer use the words 'good medicine and bitter mouth' to persuade people, good medicine is really difficult to drink." Xu Ji said with emotion.

That night, Tang Weitian personally came over to deliver a letter, "This building chief Shi really regards Xu Gongzi as his own brother, and after getting the letter, he immediately wrote a reply letter, asking Xu Gongzi to meet tomorrow." According to the messenger, Lou Changshi was very happy, and called Xu Gongzi 'Seventeen Brothers' in public, and said that you are the most amazing son of the Lou family. ”

Xu Ji was not happy at all, he had always been wary of this inexplicable "good thing".
